Wray & Nephew Rum

Wray & Nephew White Overproof is Jamaica's best-selling spirit and one of the rum world's most iconic names. At 63%, it's not just strong - it's the very foundation of Jamaican rum culture.
  • Appleton White Old Version Jamaica Rum bottle
    Item no.: 505956-12684297-15

    In recent years Appleton has renamed its clear rum to Kingston 62 in certain markets, but this Old Version keeps the original name and recipe that many collectors still seek out.

    Expert Description

    Appleton White Old Version is a Jamaica Rum, bottled at 40%.

    The rum is produced at Appleton Estate in the Nassau Valley of Jamaica, where the distillery has made rum since 1749. Appleton White was for many years the house's clear, unfiltered rum, but has since been rebranded to Kingston 62 in several markets with no changes to the recipe itself. This Old Version is bottled in the original 76 cl bottle under the classic Appleton White name, making it a piece of the brand's history for those who know the difference.

    The result is a light, clean rum, where sugarcane and citrus meet a fresh, dry finish.

About Wray & Nephew Rom

Wray & Nephew is distilled in Jamaica and has been the natural starting point for Jamaican rum since the 1800s, both as a drink in its own right and as a building block in countless other rum brands on the island. Its unmistakable strength and intensity make it a must for anyone wanting to understand what Jamaican rum is really about.

History & Background

J. Wray & Nephew was founded in Jamaica in the 1800s and grew into the island's largest and most influential rum producer, with the iconic White Overproof as its flagship. Campari Group acquired the company in 2012 but has since preserved the traditional, high-strength style that has made the brand a fixture of Jamaican culture, from cocktails to religious ceremonies.

Production & Style

The rum is distilled from molasses in traditional Jamaican stills and bottled unaged at a full 63%, giving a raw, intense character quite different from aged rums.

Signature Style

Raw, Intense, Powerful
A raw, unfiltered intensity with pronounced ester notes and a powerful, fiery strength impossible to mistake for anything else.
